Icing Eyelid to Help Heal After Eyelid Surgery?

sukstar
For how long (days) after lower eyelid surgery should I ice to speed up the recovery? I know it takes time but I'm getting a little frustrated because while I appear to be healing quickly in that I'm barely bruised, on day 4 I seem to have no swelling left except for that annoying "puff" that prompted me to get the surgery in the first place. Does ice make a difference after the initial few days? Thanks.
